The locus coeruleus (LC) is a vertebrate-specific nucleus and the primary source of
norepinephrine (NE) in the brain. This nucleus has conserved properties across species …

The locus coeruleus (LC, Lat.“blue spot”) is a heavily pigmented nucleus located in the
dorsal wall of the rostral pons in the lateral floor of the fourth ventricle (Figure 12.1). The LC …

The brainstem nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) is the primary source of norepinephrine (NE) to
the mammalian neocortex. It is believed to operate as a homogeneous syncytium of …

The locus coeruleus (LC) is a seemingly singular and compact neuromodulatory nucleus
that is a prominent component of disparate theories of brain function due to its broad …

The locus coeruleus (LC), or 'blue spot', is a small nucleus located deep in the brainstem
that provides the far-reaching noradrenergic neurotransmitter system of the brain. This …

The brainstem nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) is a major source of norepinephrine (NE)
projections throughout the CNS. This important property was masked in very early studies by …

The locus coeruleus (LC) houses the vast majority of noradrenergic neurons in the brain and
regulates many fundamental functions, including fight and flight response, attention control …

The release of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine throughout the mammalian brain is
important for modulating attention, arousal, and cognition during many behaviors …

Previously, we identified a population of neurons in the hindbrain tegmentum, bordering the
locus coeruleus (LC). We named this population the pre-locus coeruleus (pre-LC) because …

Central noradrenergic neurons, collectively defined by synthesis of the neurotransmitter
norepinephrine, are a diverse collection of cells in the hindbrain, differing in their anatomy …
